RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
CQT Industrial Research Laboratory for textile technology and industry developmentRESEARCH AND INNOVATION
We collaborate in research activities aimed at fostering innovation in all civil and industrial sectors that utilize textile products or related technologies. Since 2023, we have become part of the Emilia-Romagna High Technology Network as an Industrial Research Laboratory accredited by our region (regional resolution no. 5807 – 17/03/2023), currently participating in several projects.
Why choose CQT – Centro Qualità Tessile for research?
Accreditation by the High Technology Network ensures the professionalism of the affiliated facilities, recognizing their ability to conduct excellent industrial research. In fact, the organizations accredited by the Emilia-Romagna region offer high-level expertise and facilities, enabling successful response to the needs of both public and private clients.
"Water Retting 4.0" project
Development and experimentation of an industrial bioreactor for hemp fiber extraction and sustainable production of textiles and materials for construction.
Approved under the RP ERDF 2021-2027 (Regional Program of the European Regional Development Fund) – Action 1.1.2: “Call for strategic industrial research projects focusing on priority areas of the smart specialization strategy.”
Approval DGR (Regional Government Decree) 2097/2022 and subsequent modifications.
"Re-Use" project
Eco-design methods and tools for the management and usability of data from the Digital Product Passport (DPP) to support certifiable circularity of small and medium-sized fashion enterprises, also through service centers.
The project aims to implement innovative tools to support businesses in the fashion sector.
Approved under the RP ERDF 2021-2027 (Regional Program of the European Regional Development Fund) – Action 1.1.2: “Call for strategic industrial research projects focusing on priority areas of the smart specialization strategy.”
Approval DGR (Regional Government Decree) 2097/2022 and subsequent modifications.
"Line A" project
Integration of regional innovation’s ecosystem research projects with the European Commission’s direct management programs, and research cooperation activities (SMEs recommendations about circular solutions for textile value chains based on Extended Producer Responsibility).
The project aims to provide recommendations that primarily consider the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises regarding the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), particularly in relation to:
- Methods for identifying the composition of textile materials and designing recycling processes.
- Interventions that public bodies can develop to support circularity in the fashion supply chain, promoting (or at least not penalizing) the role of small and medium-sized enterprises.
"Line B" project
Cooperation agreements for research activities aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises of the fashion industry’s value chain in the transition towards a circular economy.
The study aims to support the transition of fashion industry SMEs in the Emilia-Romagna region towards a circular economy, by devising appropriate implementation methods for the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP) through:
- Transferring the results of certain strategic European projects to local businesses.
- Identifying priority intervention areas to formulate new research and/or innovation projects to be submitted for European funding programs.
- Sharing the recommendations emerging from significant European projects.
